Sorry but this is a crazy POV. You come to HN assuming and pushing for USA centric views, and refuse to click through and read news from other sources?

- em-bee 2y agoi didn't say that. all i am suggesting is that a court in panama acquiting people charged with money laundering is not interesting to me, because that is what i would expect from there. likewise a court in europe or the US judging them guilty would not be interesting. but the reverse would be interesting in both cases because it would be a surprise. for the US/europe i'd be interested to know what went wrong, and for panama i'd be happy to learn that things are not as bad as the reputation of the country, or that things are improving. i don't need to read stories that confirm my expectation or bias, but i care about stories that challenge them and let me learn something. i haven't seen anything in the comments that suggested that there would be anything to learn here.
